The Man in the Moon,

Nebraska State Journal.
Say, who is the fellow who sits in
the moon, and why does he grin in so
foolish away? In winter he is smill-
ing as well as in June-what keeps
up his spirit so wonderfully, pray?
Oh, a merry old fool is the man in
the moon, and he sits there and looks
at the chap full of gin, who staggers
along like a wavering loon, and he
cannot to save him refrain from a
grin. And anon he can see from his
seat in the moon a fellow who's reck-
less and brainless to boot, who sails
up a mile in a giant balloon, and sails
down again on abig parachute. And
again he can smile at the man with
a gun, who asks at the desk if the
EDITORS in, who's scraped from the
floor when the struggle is done, and
carried away on the point of pin.
There + thousands of jokes for the
man in the moon and he smiles when
he sees William H., in despair, i'm
ploring his darling to marry him
soon-and a year after that when
she's pulling his hair. If you could
go up in a trusty balloon, as far as
that orb in her setting of blue, and
look down on earth with the man in
the moon, you'd likely be grinning
as foolishly too. This dizzy old world
is a joke from the start, and there's
no use Of weeping from morning till
noon; it's better to 60 with smile
in your heart and try to outsnicker
the man in the moon.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Congress man Abbott. of Texas,
I'm the city

Hon 10. Abbott, Representative in
Congress from the Sixth District OF
Texas, arrived in the city. by the Sunset
excursion yesterday. Mr.. Abbott was
formerly District Judge in Texas of the
district composed of the counties of
johnson, Hill and Bosque, and was
considered the ablest and clearest.headed
indge on the bench of Texas. This is
his first election to Congress but it is
safe to predict that his course in legisla-
tive halls will win for him even more fame
than his career upon the bench. Texas
now has a very able representation In
Congress, and Judge Abbott will be in
good company. As his district is
about 20, 900 Democratic it is not hard
to guess the political proeliyities OF the
Judge. Aside from everything else in
favor of Judge Abbott, he was, when
he admitted the writer to the bar in
Texas, considered tho handsomest man
in that State of fine.looking, stalwart
men. The Judge is accompanied by his
family aud will spend some time in
Southern California.

identified as the party who cut him
Officer Auble searched Madden for the

Gospel Meeting at the Congrega'
tiOnui church.

The Young Mems Christian Associa'
tion extended the courtesies OF Los An
geles yesterday to numerous visiting
members from the East who are on their
way to attend the twenty.seventh an.
pual convention at San Francisco. After
visiting various churches throughout
the city the home members and their
visitors assembled at four o'clock at the
Congregational Church, on the corner of
Third and Hill streets, where gospel
meeting was held, led by f. A. Hatch,
of Kansas city. The church was well
filled with young men, who appeared TO
enter very heartily into the services.
After singing of several songs by the
congregation, assisted by an orchestra
ana double made quartette formed OF
members Of the Association, Mr.. Hatch
requested those present to select and
read verses from the Bible which they
thought applicable to the occasion end
deserving OF particular attention. In
this manner excellent exs for thought
were brought to light, and after half an
hour spent in this manner and singing OF
more hymns, Mr.. r. A. Orr of Plttsburg,
and Rev. X. w. Beattie, of Grand Rap
ids, led in prayer. Quite number OF
the visiting delegates then spoke shortly
on the teachings of Christ ON the ex-
ample set by him, and on the great good
religion is to all young men. The meet
ing was one of great utility in showing
to the citizens what powerful society
the Association is for the good OF young
men. Among the visiting members
were W. w. Vanarsdale and wife, of

RIGHT OF PETITION.
How TO Pray and What u
Pray For.

Yesterday morning Rev. w. A.
Knighten took for bis subject, at Grace
M. Z. Church, on First street, The
Right of Petition" and, in the course of
his remarks, said that salvation de.
pended upon prayer in great measure.
Tie person seeking admission into hea.
ven and the presence of the Master must
possess faith, and must believe the
teachings of Christ. Peter, when he be-
gan to sink beneath the water in follow
ing Christ, had faith that his Master
would save him, for he cried out to him.
Christ did save him from perishing, and,
if it was possible for Him to do this by
stretching forth His hand, it is just as
possible for Him to do the same with
US, only we must send our petition or
PRAYER TO Him, without which He will
do nothing. Prayer is necessary, and
the manner OF praying enters into the
subject with considerable Importance.
Many people think they cannot pray In
public, but they can. with practice, II
they be true Christians. But, while
public prayer is good, the main object
Of the teaching of the Bible is to in.
struct us to pray in private. The Phar.
isees prayed in public too much, and
were set before us as an example not 10
follow, but to avoid. The true place OF
PRAYER is in thecloset, where we can enter
into close communion with God, and
g We ourselves to him. Many expect an
answ er to prayer, not at once, but In
years to come. Some are satisfied 10
ask for deathbed grace, but this is not
what they should ass for. They should
ask for immediate grace, living grace,
so that they can live in the manner best
suited to the wishes of Christ. The idea
of deathbed grace is repugnant to true
christianity. A sinking man does not
ask to be saved tomorrow or at seme
future time. He wants to be saved at
once. Neither does leper ask to be
made clean in ten years in order that he
may pass the mean time in his misera-
bic situation. He asks immediate
relief and that is what we should do;
ask for immediate relief from sin. Then
many people do not ask for enough.
They seem to think that they cannot
obtain large favors, but they are mis-
taken, for does not Christ say ASK,
and it shall be given unto you" There
fore people should not be afraid to ask
for salvation, not only for themselves.
but for their brothers and sisters. They
should ask for the salvation OF all sim
ners, that in the life to come all may be
joined in one great church with Christ
Jesus at its head.
